What I want to do is to generate a random number between and creating a button that will google it.
I am stuck on creating the button to do so.

I am using the following code to generate a random number:

<div id="random" onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('random').innerHTML = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1001);" >

How do I add functionality to a button which will Google that randomly generated number?

Right now, I am thinking on the lines of how we generate forms, which Google what the user types in them, for instance:

<form align = "center" action = "http://www.google.com/search"  target="_blank">
    <input name = "q"> <input type = "submit" value="Google !"> 
</form>

    You don’t really need a form, a regular hyperlink would work just fine.

    <a href="javascript: window.open('http://www.google.com/search?q=' + Math.floor(Math.random() * 1001))">Google!</a>

    Of course, you could use an image instead of text if you want to use a graphic button, and if you’d like to use a regular form button, the following would do the trick…

    <input type="button" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com/search?q=' + Math.floor(Math.random() * 1001))" value="Google!" />
